screen size

I have created an application that when run on a laptop fits the screen as I
want.
But on some machines with the windows format at a much larger size the forms
do not fit on the screen.
How do I set it so it remains as created?

Thanks

You have it backwards. It *is* remaining as created. <g> You want it to
resize to the current machine's video resolution.

There is a resizer control in the FFC classes that ships with VFP. If you're
using VFP9, also check out the Anchor property.

Hi Dan
I'm using vfp8. I don't want the form to be as big I need it to get smaller.
Don't know about anchor or resizer.
thanks

If you find automatically proportionally resizing your forms is too involved
just make the FORM size to be 800 x 600 at design time. Not many people set
the screen to a resolution less than 800 x 600.

Thanks
I added scroll bars for the people set at 800X600 .This way the form remains
the same size.
Thanks for your help

Sherry,
Most programs, games etc: will state "For best results the screen
resolution should be set at ??? or larger". A 800 by 600 resolution is way
to small for most programs unless you are using it for people with very
myoptic vision.
